Chapter 1- All Alone

"Ma, Souta, Gramps! I'm home!" Kagome yelled waiting for Souta to come and tackle her. When nobody answered her, she figured they went to get groceries or went to run an errand of some type.

"Oh well," Kagome thought, "I'll just get some of my things and I'll come back and say "Hi" later." Kagome walked upstairs to her room, shut the door, and looked around her room. She lay down on her bed and looked at the ceiling. Kagome let her thoughts wander to the beginning of that day.

FLASHBACK

"Kagome. Kagome, child, ye need to awake, it is time to eat." Kaede said while shaking Kagome.

"Five more minutes, Kaede, then I'll be up." Kagome answered.

"No, child. Ye need to get up and ready to go traveling today." Kaede answered firmly.

"Alright, alright. I'm up." Kagome said sitting up and stretching.

"Good Morning, Oka-san!" yelled Shippou as he walked into the hut.

"Good morning, Shippou." Kagome replied.

"Finally up! Come on! We have to go after Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome as he walked into the hut. Miroku and Sango followed him into the hut.

"Good morning, Kagome-chan. I hope you slept well." Said Sango.

"Of course, Sango, and what about yourself?" Kagome asked.

"Very well. Thank you for asking."

"You're welcome."

"It's good to see you're happy, Lady Kagome." Miroku stated.

" Thank you, Miroku."

"Can we get moving now? I hate just sitting here and letting Naraku get away!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome and the others.

"Actually, I was hoping to go and see my family today." Kagome announced waiting for the explosion.

"WHAT!" Inuyasha screamed. "What are you thinking? We have to find Naraku! No! You're not going back!"

Inuyasha was getting on Kagome's nerves. "If he says 'no' again I'm going to blow it! I want to see my family." Kagome thought.

"Please, Inuyasha, it will only be for two or three hours." Kagome pleaded.

"No! You're not going!"

"Yes I am!" Kagome shouted back as she got up and headed for the door. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arm and said, "No! I don't want you to leave because we have to find Naraku!"

Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kaede sat there drinking tea and not paying any attention to Inuyasha and Kagome. They had heard it all before.

Kagome looked down to the hand that was stopping her from leaving. She looked up into Inuyasha's eyes and said, "Let go of me now!"

"No, Kagome. You're staying here."

"SIT!" Kagome yelled.

As soon as she said it, she was out the door and heading for the well. As she was leaving she could hear Inuyasha cussing up a curse. "Be back later!" she yelled over her shoulder.

"Bye, Kagome," they all said in unison.

Kagome made it to the well when she saw something moving in the forest. "Inuyasha! I swear if you try to come near me, I swear to Kami above that you won't be around much longer!" Kagome yelled at him.

There was no answer. The figure Kagome thought she saw was gone. Kagome forgot all about the things that were going on and jumped straight into the well.

END OF FLASHBACK

Kagome sighed. "I better get packing and go back. I'll come back tomorrow and say "Hi" to everyone." She walked downstairs and noticed that the living room was a pit. The vase was broken into pieces and water was everywhere. Pillows were thrown all over the floor and all the pictures on the wall were crooked.

"What in the world happened here?" Kagome asked herself. "I might as well clean it up," she thought to herself as she went to get the vacuum and lots of rags.

Kagome had cleaned up all the water on the floor, straightened the pictures on the wall, and picked up. She started vacuuming and stopped when she got to the computer room door. She bent down and inspected the floor. 'I don't remember spilling anything red right here.' Kagome thought to herself.

Kagome stuck her finger into the stain to feel it. It was red and sticky. "What in the world is this!" she wondered.

"Owww."

Kagome looked up. "What was that!" Kagome said, looking around the room. "It sounded like it came from in here!" Kagome thought while slowly opening the door to the computer room.

When the door swung completely open and Kagome looked in she was shocked into a state of horror. There in front of her on the floor was her family, all lying in a pool of blood.

Kagome looked back and forth at each one of her family members. Her eyes stopped on her mother. Her mother, a loving, gentle, understanding person, was lying before her dying.

"Mom," Kagome whispered softly as she touched her mother's cold skin.

"Kagome," said the weak voice.

"Mom!" Kagome said a little louder as she started to cry. "Don't leave me, Mom! I love you. Hang in there, okay?"

"No sweetie. I can't be helped," her mother said very softly. "I love you. Just promise me you won't change. I love you, Kagome. Stay with Inuyasha in his time. I don't want you anywhere else."

Kagome picked up her mother's fragile body and laid her mother's head on her lap. "Promise me, Kagome-san," her mother said.

"I promise, mama. I love you!" Kagome said. She started crying harder when she felt her mother's body go limp. She knew that her caring mother had passes on, but Kagome held onto her mother, crying over her mother's dead form.
